I paid for the month and every time I go to open it and it wants me to pay over and over again
Developer Response
Hi Andrea — first off, we'd love to give you a full year of Whale Tracker, free, for putting up with this. You paid and you should never have been locked out — that was a bug on our end that kept asking paying users to buy again. It's now fixed in the latest update: just update the app and tap Restore Purchases at the bottom of the paywall and your subscription reconnects instantly, no new charge. Once you're back in, reach out through the in-app support link or reply here and we'll get that free year on your account. Thank you for sticking with us — there are humpbacks, orcas, and grays waiting for you out there! 🐋 — Whale Tracker Team
